Everyone wants to give the members of their bridal party presents that won't end up in a drawer. There are lots of great gifts that both sides will love (see our archives!), but few are more useful than food and drink.
Zero in on the interests of each of your wedding members-- you may realize that one is really into fine wines, another is a chocaholic, and so on. Before you know it, a food theme may take shape. The most appreciated gifts are also those that show you put true thought into the giving. And your bridal party will love you for it.
Here are some more delectable-- and totally unique-- edible gift ideas. Most of them work well in a themed basket or bucket.
- Wine and beer. Special vintages and premium micro brews are high on the A list when it comes to wedding party presents.
- Teas and coffees. For those who prefer something more mellow, there are tons of gourmet teas and super-charged coffees out there with price tags that are gift-worthy.
- Martini or margarita sets. Very much in vogue, pitchers and the makings for these cool cocktails are perfect for parties--and you just may get invited.
- Chocolate heaven. Get the really good stuff and lots of it. Throw in hot chocolate mixes, chocolate-covered pretzels--you get the picture.
- Cooking class. Especially fun in metropolitan areas where big-name chefs often share their expertise at schools and restaurants. Friends can meet, cook and eat with some real culinary stars.
- Cookbooks. Whether they're currently wrapped up in a single cuisine or spend the weekend baking, there's a large collection of cookbooks out there to indulge any interest.
- Restaurant gift certificate. Don't know their way around a kitchen but have been to every restaurant within a 50-mile radius? Then a gift certificate (for two!) to an elegant establishment sounds ideal.
